My problem is that (a) it takes so doggoned long to do if you write neatly, and (b) I learned very quickly that I could copy without really focusing on the material at hand (I've since learned that I can also read aloud but be thinking about something else entirely). Ultimately, it just seems to work better for me to study the scores and put the same attention into examining the parts and textures that I might have in transmitting them to a new format.<br /><br />P. S.: Winslow's law re: perfect copies transmitted by ear suggests that he may have been unfamiliar with the problem posed to folk song archivists--namely, the innumerable variations of even well-known tunes.
